Dean Liza Corro assured that the implementation of the K-12 pro-gram will do no harm to UP Cebu.
As far as the K-12 program is con-cerned, we do not share the same concerns with other universities. We are not apprehensive of the coming of senior high school,” Corro stressed, ending with the point that K-12 program is “in fact, timely."
The dean also clarified that despite UP Cebu losing freshmen enrollees for the next two academic years, no
faculty member will be fired solely on the basis of a reduced student population. Instead of perceiving the situation as a threat, the next two years could be utilized as an oppor-tunity for faculty members’ research-es and continuation of their graduate studies, says Dean Corro.
On the other hand, Corro further reported that with senior high schools teaching some of the general education (GE) courses currently taught in the university, UP Cebu will be launching new set of GE courses.
Senior High in UP Cebu
UP Cebu High School will open sen-ior high school next year, offering Science and Technology, and Mathe-matics courses. Some of the profes-sors from the college department will be teaching at the senior high school.
In relation to this, construction of new classrooms will soon start. “The money is already there. We are just looking for the area (on which build-ings will be built),” Dean Corro re-veals.

While Cebu has been hosting the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Third Senior Official’s Meeting (SOM 3) and other related meetings, militants oppose the said gathering of 22 member-economies.
Last August 22, 2015, Bayan–Central Visayas chapter together with some youth sector leaders condemned the kick-off of APEC SOM 3 and greeted the delegates with a mobilization in front of Radisson Blu Hotel, Mabolo, Cebu City.
Bayan – Central Visayas coordinator Jaime Paglinawan said that APEC will only be a mechanism for capitalist de-veloped economies such as United States of America, Japan, and China to persistently dump their surplus prod-ucts to Third World countries like the Philippines. He added that Philippines remains as a Third World country which provides raw materials and cheap labor to other nations.
Paglinawan stressed out that the country needs sustainable national industries that will further genuine inclusive growth.
APEC SOM 3 is expected to end on September 6, 2015.
APEC as “Gathering of Vultures”
In an article of Bicol Today, League of Filipino Students (LFS) spokeperson, Charisse Bañez, said that, “APEC is a luxurious gathering of vultures who are so hungry to ravage the Philip-
pines’ wealth and natural resources. By hosting APEC for this year, Aquino will open the floodgates for further foreign economic plunder and exploi-tation in the country.”
APEC SOM 3 is one of the build-up events before the APEC Leaders’ Sum-mit in November-- the biggest one where objectives will be finalized. APEC SOM 3 will discuss the steps for Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) and development of the new APEC Services Cooperation Frame-work, according to their own advisory.
LFS also slammed APEC’s slogan, “Building Economies, Building a Better World.” saying it is hollow and sham as it noted neoliberal economic policies hiding behind the agenda. The group
pointed that these neoliberal policies will only exploit more laborers and peasants within the Asia-Pacific region, will continue destructive logging and mining, and will welcome trade liberal-ization.
“APEC is not welcome in the Philip-pines! The Filipino people who have suffered so long from hunger and pov-erty under the banner of globalization will direct their anger towards the US-Aquino tandem. We will continue our call to junk APEC and hold Aquino ac-countable for his sellout,” Bañez said.
For the two-week long event, series of protests occurred all geared to junk APEC

Almost after three years since it was closed for renovation, UP Cebu Library building finally reopened.
What was planned was to complete the renovation within 264 days only—that is, within less than a year. However, several failed biddings along with calamities (Super typhoon Yolanda and Bohol Earth-quake) caused delay, Dean Liza Corro reported. The wait is worth it
“It’s not your traditional library anymore,” Ms. Mylah Pedrano, head librarian, de-clared, asserting that the long wait for the reopening of the library building is worth it. Pedrano added that with the new and improved facilities and level of technology, the library fosters academic improvement more than ever.
Student Academic Information System (SAIS) caused enrolment delays as it was bogged down the whole morn-ing on the first day of this semester’s enrolment.
Mr. Gerran Simacon of UP Cebu Compu-ting Services Unit (CSU) explained that the problem was caused by a unit-wide database failure affecting UP Baguio, UP Manila, and UP Cebu. He added that the SAIS team was days prepared for the enrolment.
The problem was responded immediate-ly and the system was back to normal after lunch break.
Simacon praised SAIS on its edge from the previous Computerized Registration System (CRS). SAIS now has the following features: academic advisement, cash hearing, campus biography, financial aid, and self-service.
Despite its news features, SAIS never gets away with students’ frustration on frequent configuration problems. Stu-dents and faculty members aired out their concerns on sudden password changes. Students also encounter net-work traffic in which they cannot log in to their accounts during pre-enlistment period-- a scenario not new since the implementation of the system.

Michelle Cabrales PANAGWAY
Most of us might’ve heard this line. Whether it's a joke from peers or a seri-ous warning from parents, the idea is the same: Don't be an activist.
Most of us might’ve heard the snickers of disapproval from our parents in the times we had to drive past a rally, or see a particularly chaotic protest covered on TV. Maybe we were only 7 and didn't even understand what was going on, but our parents' reactions branded activism in our impressionable minds.
Now we’re here, in a university promi-nent for students' activism.
What is Activism?
Activism means making efforts to create a positive change in the society, be it so-cial, political, economic, or environmen-tal. Simple as it seems, it requires strong principles, and an open mind with a good grasp of the surrounding issues. It can be seen that our society is partly shaped by a long and colorful tapestry of activism. Examples are Jose Rizal's stirring novels and efforts toward reforms, the Katipu-neros' lead in the revolution, and the People Power Revolution. Looking into these, you'll observe that there are vari-ous forms in appealing for change. Sign-ing petitions, joining socio-political organ-izations, writing letters to authorities and publishing informative booklets and in-fographics are just a few ways to engage in activism.
Activism as a Taboo
Everything so far sounds well and bal-
anced and so one might ask what were our parents snickering about? Let's go back to that first, shallow impression of activism: troublesome and dangerous. That's partly because news of activism highlights the perils activists encounter: it's no secret that protests may turn vio-lent, and that many activists have died, been killed, or been abducted in their cause. On top of that, public demonstra-tions cause heavy traffic or rerouting; a pain in the neck for commmuters!
Also, the inner workings within an activist group can get terribly messy. Division among members due to petty jealousies or quarrels, ineffective communication, and domineering personalities can tear any group apart, and for activist groups this tends to result into embarrassing publicity. This results to tarnished repu-tations and distorted ideals. Other times, a group does not get the financial sup-port hence intangible results. People ex-
pect great things from activism, and they can’t easily forget disputes.
The UP Stereotype
Dahil kay UP student nga, akitibista na agad-agad. How 'bout bigyan kita ng tsinelas pangsampal mo sa sarili mo. Hehe. Joke lang.
Iskolars have always been known to be robust on activism. Maybe because we're dubbed as critical thinkers, and we be-lieve that good political and social ideals we learn have to be implemented in our society. We are inherently obligated to dissect issues, call out lapses or viola-tions of power, and offer solutions. Here in UP, you'll encounter several ways to ease yourself into responsible activism. YOU get to CHOOSE your cause and your form of activism, along with core values of being open-minded, respectful, and humble.

Budget proposal passed; is justice served?
UP-- one of the country’s state university, will experience a Php2-billion budget slash from its current allocation. President Alfredo E. Pascual explained to Rappler that the decrease is because the modernization of Philippine General Hos-pital has been completed. UP gets the budget for the operation of the PGH. Php 3.2-billion is allocated for the said mod-ernization and with the Php 2-billion de-crease, there is actually a Php 1.2- billion increase for the UP’s academic units.
So there is an increase and it seems like there is no need to rant.
Recently, UP Diliman students were dis-placed and many of them camped in the entrance hall of the Kalayaan dormitory. This year’s application system has been a difficult experience for many due to a sudden change in the procedures and the sudden inundation of students.
According to Dean Corro, UP Cebu is get-ting a “big chunk” and in terms of capital outlay, we are getting 2nd of the biggest budget portion, next to UP Diliman. Dean Corro also admitted that her budget pro-
posal included the expansion of the cam-pus dormitory but then, the construction of the new science building is prioritized and therefore, approved.
But no, we should not be blinded. Even if we are getting a “big chunk” and even if the construction of building is next in line, we cannot deny the fact that we have not yet achieved quality education and its accessibility is still in the hands of the few.
According to Commission on Higher Edu-cation statistics (July 17, 2012), an aver-age per student cost for those in UP amounts to Php 77,340 a year. Of the data presented, it shows that for 3 con-secutive academic years, enrolment is increasing for the whole UP system. From 48,151 in A.Y. 2009-2010, it grew to 51,385 in A.Y. 2011-2012. However, this is the direct opposite for the number of graduates-- from 8,201 to 7,753. Number of enrolees increases, so does our popu-lation. How come the number of gradu-ates decreases? The answer is simple: education is now confined in the hands of the few. Cost of living is high, so do our tuition, and the emergence of “other” school fees. With the budget cut, the horror of skyrocketing tui-
tion rates is near.
So do you say youth is the hope of our nation? Are you still saying the youth holds and moulds our future? For a long time now, prioritization of the na-tion’s budget is on debt servic-
ing. Our nation is tied up within the chains on debts and it seems like the President sees there is no other way oth-er way to unchain it than to focus on paying our debts’ interest rates year after year.
There is no need to argue; education is a right! It is undeniable that tuition costs are high, costs of living becomes higher and getting means for having a “sustainable student life” (house, internet for research and academic papers, books, etc.) is becoming harder for each of us.
Numbers talk. We say no to budget cut. We say no to commercialized education. We say no to the continuous oppression we students experience as reflected by menial budget not even enough to sus-tain school facilities and not enough to achieve the high-level quality of educa-tion we all thirst for.
We call for a higher state subsidy. We call for our rights as students!

STIGMA. INCIVILITY. DISCRIMINATION.
Sometimes, society will just let you ask,
“Am I in the right rest room?”
In a liberty-loving world, there exists the
primacy of human rights. Mighty fists and
brave hearts are willing to fight, hoping that
the flag of hope they have been raising for
years will never cease to fly, and incessant-
ly flaunting all shades of color standing for
their identity and intrinsic worth.
26th day of June when the US Supreme
Court handed the LGBT community a huge
victory with the 5-4 ruling that legalized
same-sex marriage in all 50 states. Now,
our predominantly Catholic country is con-
fronted with this issue. Are we ready yet?
Our society has gone great debates over
the issue concerning the LGBT community.
There are claims that being gay, lesbian,
bisexual or transgender is an illness and
should never have a place in the society.
On the other hand, some say that LGBTs
deserve the same rights and respect like
everyone else, and should never be alien-
ated in the society. So many questions,
beliefs and principles are driven forward in
the name of the law, morality, and social
equality.
“Good Lord, hallelujah!”
Khyienne Zairhyze Atienza, a Political Sci-
ence student who is in a same-sex relation-
ship, said she is happy and proud and at
the same time envious after hearing the
news about the legalization of same-sex
marriage in America.
With all the issues the LGBT community
faces on violence and discrimination, Khy-
ienne can be considered lucky enough.
“With both me and my girlfriend coming
from families of strict Catholic roots, it’s a
real struggle because our families disap-
prove the relationship. At one point, yes,
there has been discrimination.”
Atienza stressed that this kind of treatment
that most of LGBTs have been experienc-
ing for years will remain inevitable whether
same-sex marriage is legalized in our coun-
try or not. “It won’t stop discrimination
and/or violence, per se, but it could hope-
fully open up avenues to develop a further
understanding into the homosexual psyche
which might boost awareness and for the
lack of a better term, and would possibly
fuel people’s acceptance of the LGBTs.”
According to her, our country is deeply root-
ed in Catholic faith and it won’t be an easy
task to dispel discrimination since this kind
of judgment has thrived in our country for
generations to the point that LGBTs are
labeled as entertainers for most.
However, despite these negativities and
impossibilities in mind, Atienza said she
would still want to go for it, for the sake of
LGBT rights-- for human rights. “If the coun-
try is to uphold the idea of being a demo-
cratic state, which a lot of our leaders and
history vigorously claim for it to be, then
yes. It caters not only to my needs, but to
the benefits of a huge crowd. If same-sex
marriage would finally be legalized in this
country, all those tireless, relentless years
of pleading and clamoring would not be-
come a mere shout to the void. So, yes.
Yes, please.”
Indeed, the LGBT number has grown larger
and larger over the years, as more and
more people have come out on their true
selves. “We’re not exactly a minority any-
more, and the Philippines cannot and
should not continue ignoring and denying
its people of their rights, one of it is the
right to self-determination and to be who-
ever they really want to be.”
Despite the growing numbers, Atienza still
thinks twice and considers the thought that
same-sex marriage is highly impossible to
be part of the laws of our land. “This coun-
try is run by religious hegemon of the old
and as long as they continue breeding, the
LGBT will continue to be a discriminated
minority in the sense that it isn’t still con-
sidered as a true part of society or some-
thing. For crying out loud, we can’t even
pass a proper anti-discrimination law!” But
with her being a selective optimist, there
are still hopes that LGBT rights will be
acknowledged in our country, and that she
will be able to enjoy it for a lifetime.
With all the conflicting interests we are
facing-- from the personal faith that we
uphold up to the human rights that we
surely deserve, it’s not surprising that our
country is divided on this matter. Now, as
Filipinos, we might want to ask ourselves:
do we really need to legalize same-sex mar-
riage? Is it now or never?
UPC CALLS FOR JUSTICE FOR THE LUMADS. September 10, 2015 - UPC students joins in calling for
justice in the recent Lumad killings through a candle
lighting solidarity.
A discussion was done beforehand.
TEENAGE DEPRESSION. August 20 A talk on Teen-
age Depression and Suicide was given by Prof. Ronald
del Castillo, PsyD MPH. Prof. Castillo is an associate pro-
fessor of health policy and administration and of behav-
ioural sciences in UP Manila.
The event is organized by UP Psychology Majors Associ-
ation (UPPsyMA).
More benefits and privileges
are to be availed by the faculty and
Research, Extension, and Professional
Staff (REPS) with the signing of the
new Collective Negotiation Agreement
(CNA), says Prof. Lawlita Cabahug,
president of All UP Academic Employ-
ees Union (AUPAEU)- Cebu.
The agreement will increase the faculty
and REPS' fringe benefits—including
rice and grocery allowances worth P13,
500; merit incentive grant of P12, 700;
and an educational support grant
amounting to P15, 000.
In addition, the implementation of rele-
vant laws with respect to gender equal-
ity and women's rights will be enforced
by this agreement.
Grievance procedures will also be insti-
tutionalized, creating a Grievance Com-
mittee that will handle complaints and
grievances and procedures for settle-
ment.
With CNA, the faculty will be granted
with two-day-additional leave privilege.
CNA will furthermore establish tech-
nical working groups which will focus
on the following: housing programs for
retiring or retired employees and the
union; use of health facilities and
scholarship or study privileges for one
non-earning relative up to the third
degree of consanguinity of single full
time faculty; and REPS including those
who are married without children.
As of press time, AUPAEU is working on
the agreement's ratification by the ma-
jority of the faculty and REPS of the UP
System. This is part of the require-
ments of the Civil Service Commission
to register and approve the new CNA.
The signing was done last July 6, 2015
with Pres. Alfredo Pascual representing
the university and Dr. Ramon Guiller-
mo, the union.

Nasa banyo ako kanina, nagh-
ilamos. Alas dos. May biglang ku-
malampag. ‘Di ako sigurado, sa sala ba
o sa balkonahe. Basta, lumabas agad
ako ng banyo. Unang sumalubong
sa‘kin, pagtingala ko, yung dalawa
kong pusa na nagtatakbuhan. Relaks,
‘di sila nakadikit sa kisame, meron na-
man kasing kahoy na malalakaran nila
sa taas. Ayun. Horror ba? Hindi. Hindi
ko na nga maalala kung kelan ako
huling natakot sa multo. Sa ganitong
oras na may maririnig akong malakas
na kalampag, hindi multo ang maiisip
ko, hindi na. Hindi na magmula nang
mas natakot na ako sa mundo, sa tao
mismo, at hindi sa multo.
Naalala ko pa nung bata pa ako, kapag
cino-commercial ang Okatokat, o Ngi-
nig, tumatakbo ako papunta kay ma-
ma, o kay ate na naghuhugas pa ng
pinggan sa kusina. Kakapit sa damit
niya at yayakap at mangiyak-ngiyak
na.. basta, iiyak. Naalala ko rin yung
mga pelikula sa Cinema One, yung kay
Angelica Panganiban, yung sinaniban
siya. Tapos yung Magandang Hating-
gabi. Syempre, ‘di pwedeng ‘di ko ‘to
kinatakutan, yung mga Shake Rattle
and Roll. At higit sa lahat, kahit anong
pelikula, o palabas, o patalastas, basta,
andyan si Lilia Cuntapay. Takot na ta-
kot ako sa matandang ‘yan, noon. Nga-
yon, ang lahat ng iyan, wala nang
epekto sa ‘kin. Ako pang naghahanap
ng horror films na mapapanood. Kahit
ako lang mag-isa. Ako pang pumuwes-
to sa harapan ng classroom nang nag-
film-showing kami ng The Conjuring.
At ako na’ng nananakot sa ate kong
scaredy cat, na magpapasama pa sa
CR sa boarding house kapag naiihi siya
sa madaling-araw. Ewan, kung dahil ba
hindi na ako inosente at alam ko na
kung ano ang maganda o pangit na
special effects ng pelikula, o dahil ba
alam ko nang ang tanga lang naman
ng mga movie characters para lumapit
sa pinanggagalingan ng tunog na gigis-
ing sa kanila kesa hayaan nalang at
matulog na lang ulit. O dahil lang ba
talaga alam ko nang mas nakakatakot
ang kutsilyo at baril na may totoong
kamay na humahawak kesa sa palu-
tang-lutang lang.
Ganun nga. Kinabahan ako kanina.
Kasi, kung ikaw ba naman praning,
wala ka bang maiisip na masama ‘pag
marinig mo ang tunog na iyon sa gani-
tong oras? Praning. Oo, hindi na ako
matatakutin, pero ngayon, praning.
Kahit ayaw ko, kahit iniiwasan ko, na-
papraning na lang din ako, tulad ng
bawat isang tao sa mundong ito. Pa-
rang epidemic kumbaga. ‘Pag praning
ang ate mo, mapapraning ka na rin. At
lalo na ‘pag ang nanay mo ang pran-
ing, tiyak, praning ka na lang din tala-
ga. Haay. Mundong ito nga naman.
Wala na raw ligtas na lugar.
Magpapaalam ka lang na may
kailangan kang bilhin gayong gabi na,
pero kailangang kailangan mo lang
talaga para sa project mo sa skwela,
ipagpabukas na lang daw. Delikado
raw. Gabi na. Gabi na? Ang sabihin
mo, ang mga gago naglipana. Ni-
yayaya ka ng kaibigan mo na tu-
mugtog sa banda, sa gig, ‘di ka papa-
yagan, kasi raw gabi. Pakihanapan mo
naman ako ng bar na bukas at may gig
sa umaga at hindi sa gabi oh, please.
Tapos hahangarin mo na lang nga din
na magkapera o kahit karanasan man
lang, sasali ka sana ng battle of the
bands, hindi rin pwede, kasi malayo
yung venue. Malayo ang venue? Ang
sabihin mo, maraming ulul kahit saang
kanto. Ayun na nga, sa bawat kanto,
may panganib. Sa bawat kanto,
kailangang mag-ingat. Sa bawat kanto,
kailangan may katakutan. Sa bawat
kanto, walang kaligtasan. Eh bakit pa
ba tayo nasa mundong ito?
Safe Haven, sabi ni Nicholas Sparks.
Meron pa bang ganyan? Meron pa
bang ganyan sa utak ng bawat nila-
lang? Oo sa utak, sa utak ang may di-
lim. Sa utak ang may lagim. Kasi na-
man eh, naniniwala ako, ang lawak ng
mundo, maganda ang mundo, magan-
da ang dagat, ang dalampasigan, ang
bundok, ang burol, ang Luneta Park,
ang Mactan Bridge, ang Botanical Gar-
den, ang Carbon, ang palengke, ang
tindahan ni Aleng Nena, ang bakuran
ni Mang Oka, ang kalsada, ang bawat
kanto, ang lumot sa kanto, ang basura
sa kanto, ang tambay sa kanto, ang
mga batang naglalaro sa kanto, ang
nagtsitsismisan sa kanto, ang mga
nagbubuhol-buhol na kable ng
kuryente sa kanto, at ang kung ano
mang andyan sa kanto, maganda. Ma-
ganda ang mundo. Maganda ang lugar
kung nasaan tayo. Maganda ang Pinas.
Maganda. Maghanda sana tayong
linisin ang marumi, magulo at mapan-
ganib na mundong nasa loob ng mga
isipan natin. Nasa loob ng mga isipan
natin. Ang dumi. Ang gulo. Ang pan-
ganib.
Walang multo sa sala, sa kusina, o sa
banyo. Walang magnanakaw, walang
mamamatay-tao. Napraning lang ako.
Basta, walang multo.
